The Kingdom of Dillon, on a small hill near the Loche Mountains.

Li Si retracted his gaze from the system panel with satisfaction.

10w Faith Kingdom's contribution, to be honest, in his previous life, Li Si burst his liver and participated in the 2.0 main quest of the Faith Kingdom, and he didn't get so many contribution points, so he thought he could get a lot of benefits in the kingdom.

For players, the contribution can be exchanged for a certain physical reward from the Fez Kingdom, or it can be exchanged for the rank of the Fez Kingdom military.

However, for Li Si, those physical rewards no longer have any temptation, after all, he is a man who has even entered the palace treasury.

The contribution is equivalent to the embodiment of Li Si's achievements in the kingdom, and it is also a paving for the future acquisition of real fiefdoms.

The main quest rewards have been greatly increased, but the [Siege Master] specialty is quite good, and it will work wonders in special situations.

Li Si raised his head and looked at the desolate hills in front of him, all of which were covered with snow at a glance.

This is also the actual situation of the Dillon Kingdom, although the territory of the Dillon Kingdom is vast, and the territory area is almost twice that of the Fez, but because of the harsh environment and the sparsely populated area, the overall national strength is far weaker than that of the Fez Kingdom.

If it weren't for the fact that the Kingdom of Dillon had no threat from other neighboring countries, concentrating all its national strength to invade the Kingdom of Fes, and most of the forces of the Kingdom of Fez were pinned down elsewhere, the war in the north of the kingdom would not have dragged on for so long.

It should only be around January 10th, and it will be more than enough to get to Icepeak City by March.

Li Si looked to the north, which was the capital of the Dillon Kingdom and the most prosperous city in the Dillon Kingdom.

"I'm looking forward to it, that cannibalistic show!"

The corners of Li Si's mouth turned up slightly, and he said to himself with a smile:

"How can this kind of big event be without me, Moriarty?"

"Just let me add another fire!"

As the words fell, Li Si's figure also disappeared in place.

The desolate hill was quiet, and only the Xiaoice Rabbit cautiously poked his head out of the snow cave to make sure that the guy who had just stepped on his house was gone.

A few days later, Ice Peak City, the Palace of Dillon Ice Castle.

King Lucar Dillon pressed his right hand to his temple, leaned back on the white soft sofa with his eyes closed, and his face was a little gloomy.

Aggressive~

"Your Majesty."

The Secretary of State for the Interior, Anna Seaforth, knocked lightly on the door, walked in, and saluted Lucar respectfully.

"Anna, you're here."

Hearing the voice of his confidant, Lucar opened his eyes and handed him the two letters in his hand.

"Look, this is the intelligence that Austin and Abbas reported separately."

"Austin and Abbas?"

Anna was a little strange, but she immediately took the letter and read it carefully.

Austin was sent by Lucar to the Locher Mountains on a classified mission, and Abbas was Austen's subordinate, so it stands to reason that he should not have crossed Austin to report the situation directly to Lucar.

However, Anna knew that Abbas was Lucar's secret line for the kingdom's military, and although Lucar believed in Austin's loyalty, he still needed certain means to ensure the loyalty of the kingdom's army.

"What is this?"

Anna put down the letter and sat down across from Lucar.

"I should have listened to you before."

Lucar sighed and said a little tiredly.

"The castle under construction in the Westster Valley was completely destroyed, and according to Abbas, even the site of the castle was contaminated."

Anna knew in her heart that Lucar had consulted him about the matter, and that he had cautiously objected.

It is not necessary to build two castles at all, it is of little use, but it may cause the vigilance of the Fez Kingdom in advance.

Lucar hadn't mentioned it since, but now it seems that Austin had been sent to the Locher Mountains to carry out the plan.

"There is no need to be too worried, Your Majesty." 、

Anna didn't continue to ask, to show off his previous prescience, which didn't make any sense at all.

"This doesn't have much impact on our future plans, it's just a drain on some human and financial resources."

"The attention of the Fez Kingdom is still in the east, as long as there is no result over there, even if it notices our movements, there is no spare power."

"Hmm."

Lucar leaned back on the couch, and the servant hurriedly brought him a blanket sewn from white bear skin to cover his body.

After a moment of silence, Lucar asked softly:

"What have you been doing lately over there over there?"

Anna was also silent for a moment, and said seriously:

"Duke Ward has been more active recently, and he has attended many balls in the royal capital, and he is very active."

"No special moves have been found so far."

"Huh"

Lucar sneered and said with some gloom:

"He has a ghost in his heart, what does he want to hide from this?"

"Anna, let the Ice Hermit continue to investigate, I don't believe he can really do it seamlessly."

"Yes!"

Anna sighed silently in her heart and nodded in understanding.

In Anna's opinion, the kingdom has made so many big moves recently, and what it needs most now is stability.

Any act of self-consumption is wasteful before making a move on the kingdom of Fez.

But Anna also knew that persuading His Majesty King Lucar to abandon his hostility to Duke Ward would undoubtedly add fuel to the fire.

I hope this Duke of Ward is not so stupid, and don't think anything about it.

Snowy Peak, Duke Ward's residence.

This is a gorgeous and exquisite villa located in the eastern district of Snow Peak City, which is different from the rugged architecture that is often used around.

Just like the owner of this mansion, the style is peculiar and very different, not at all like the straightforward and heroic Dillon, but more like those shrewd Fes.

This made Duke Ward less popular in the kingdom, but he also had a group of fans of his own.

"Bella, our majesty seems to be planning something again."

The owner of this mansion, Duke Ward, shook the wine glass in his hand and said with a chuckle.

Marquis Bella Milne, the only female marquis of the Kingdom of Dillon, has always been excluded by the nobles of the kingdom who advocate the supremacy of force, so she and Duke Ward are tightly embraced and form a close alliance of interests.

Others may underestimate the Marquess of Milne, but the Duke of Ward does not.

This is a ruthless and really ruthless person, as long as she can achieve her goal, there is no bottom line at all.

But she's a smart guy, and Duke Ward likes to work with smart people.

"Are you scared, Stellan?"

Bella, who was reclining on the couch, played with her nails and said in an uncaring tone, as if applying nail polish was more important to her.

"Scared?"

Stellan Ward glanced sideways at Bella and said playfully:

"yes, I was scared, so I thought, we need to do something."
